Thanks everyone! I'm so happy and thankful to finally achieve one of my lifelong goals of becoming a professional meteorologist!

Here in College Station it's very warm and humid, with plenty of sunshine helping to destabilize the atmosphere even more. Should be an interesting late afternoon around here!

Will April showers bring May flowers to Texas this year? I really hope so!

Darn warm nose. Not liking my chances of snow up here anymore.

Any idea when we will be able to see that data srain?

I know everyone is focused on the potential event that is at our doorstep, but we are near the end of January and a new month is just ahead. The teleconnection indices as well as the various Global operational and ensemble guidance is suggesting a very active early February with additional wintry p...

Looks like hi-res NAM is doing the best job so far, especially on picking up on that early precip in West Texas. You think College Station could possibly get up to an inch of snow tonight Andrew? too early to tell what will happen. Also we need to check what the kcll sounding at 6z says Can you ple...

Andrew wrote:Mixing with sleet and snow up here. Overpasses are closed up here in college station. Heavy sleet too. Sidewalks are beginning to freeze over. Streets will be next.

Yep I just went outside and saw it! You still think we will transition to all snow here before it ends in a few hours?

Where is the transition occurring and when do you think it will here?

You think it will change to all snow before it ends here Andrew?

Andrew wrote:Any reports from Austin if the stuff on the radar is hitting the ground?

They were getting light sleet earlier, but I'm not sure about now.
What's it doing on campus right now? Did enough sleet fall earlier to accumulate at all?

I don't understand how I haven't seen any sleet yet. Areas to my south, north, west, and east have all been getting some. Even a few miles away from me has. When will I?

Just saw a comparison sounding from the 00z University of Houston's and models. The actual sounding has more of a sub-freezing area aloft than the Rapid Update Cycle model thinks there is, and the freezing level is closer to the surface than the RUC thinks. This increases the chance of sleet vs. fr...

Andrew reports heavy sleet in College Station Still plain old moderate rain here, but I am a couple miles southeast of the university. On campus currently. A lot of it coming down. I haven't seen any sleet yet and I'm a few miles east of campus. Weird how I haven't seen any yet and you're getting a...

Yeah I'm kinda worried it's all liquid so far. I want it to change to frozen precip soon!

Heavy IP at HWY 6 and OSR Jeff, when is the changeover expected to occur in CLL? Still 35 and just rain here. Haven't seen any sleet yet. It is going to bounce all around all night between ZR/IP/SN You don't think there will be a changeover to mainly sleet/snow? I am hoping for at least .50 inch of...
